ITANAGAR, Feb 19: The Capital Police has dismantled a fraudulent scheme and apprehended key suspects accused of swindling over Rs. 2 crores from unsuspecting victims.
The operation, hailed as a significant victory against financial crime, resulted in the recovery of substantial embezzled funds and the arrest of three individuals allegedly involved in the scheme, informed SP Capital Rohit Rajbir Singh.
The investigation, triggered by a complaint filed on February 2, 2024, by  one  NL Tabo of Economics & Statistics Colony, Chimpu, unveiled a complex web of deceit orchestrated by Kaji Habibur Rahman and his associates. The complainant alleged that Rahman and his accomplices had duped him into investing in a purported government project, only to abscond with a total sum of Rs. 2.02 crores.
Led by Inspector N. Nishant, the Chimpu Police swiftly initiated Case No. 11/2024 under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code, deploying a dedicated team to pursue leads and apprehend the suspects. The investigation uncovered damning evidence, revealing a pattern of deception and financial manipulation.
According to police reports, Rahman had cultivated a year-long rapport with the complainant, convincing him to invest Rs. 1.02 crores in the fraudulent project. On February 1st, 2024, an additional Rs. 1 crore was handed over in cash as the final installment, only for the accused individuals to vanish without a trace the following day.
Utilizing advanced technical resources, law enforcement traced the suspects' movements to Hailakandi, Assam, where they were apprehended on February 3rd, 2024. Rahman, along with his associates Mustaque Ahmed Mazumder and Kaji Gias Uddin, were taken into custody without incident, bringing an end to their alleged criminal enterprise.
A significant breakthrough came with the recovery of Rs. 12,63,000 in cash from the accused, supplemented by the freezing of assets totaling Rs. 76.65 lakhs across multiple bank accounts linked to the fraud. This substantial haul represents a major victory in the fight against financial crime, underscoring the effectiveness of law enforcement efforts in safeguarding the public from exploitation, added SP.
He further, informed that the accused persons have been remanded to police custody pending further investigation, as authorities work diligently to ensure justice is served in this case.
